Path number one is a dead end. I had a theory that the techniques might work when you are really young 14-18 before most folks develop a strong identity but anyone that got stuck on path #1 ultimately ended in a dead end. Path #2 is full of self help gurus that in my day were essentially lesser failed incantations of Joe Rogan. They give you a nugget of wisdom and a mountain of bullshit to wade through. You will get there eventually but also lots of dead ends and bad advice. It is the correct path though just no direct path to finding yourself and making yourself an interesting confident and complete person
